A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)
Headed to the U.P. with a couple of friends this last weekend. Went to a little hot spot and there were more hare there again this year than I seen anywhere in the U.P. The snow was crusty with about 1/4 inch on top. The running was steady. First day we knocked down 5. The second day we never got a gun out. Ran from daylight till dark. Here's A few pic. of the dogs we had down.

Rob, looks like you guys had a good time. I've been up 2X in the last three weeks no guns but the running was great both times. Them hare put a lot of miles on the dogs. This last trip a couple of them destroyed there feet on the crust; probably won't be able to run for the next week now .

Nick we had around 38 miles per dog over the two day period. First time bring Doug Collier on a trip he was a blast and learned some new phrases I will never forget.
Nick, dogs feet are shot. Last day we were going to run for a few hours and then leave for home but the dogs got deep in the swamp and ran all day. when finally caught them we had to carry one out because all his feet were tore up. Not enough pickle juice i guess.
Looks like you guys had a blast! good friends, good dogs, good running.
The play by play I received said the only thing that wasnt good was your shooting when hare crossed the two track 4 deep
LOL, nice pics Rob.
SUCCESS- When preparation and opportunity cross paths!
Hey Rob and Jammie........I just wanted to say I had a great time it was nice to just sit some hounds down and let them run. I'll have to say it was pretty strange tho listening to the pack and never hearing runner open up or busting out of a check. First time in seven years he hasnt been in the field with me . For you that dont know DC's runner hard has retired due to an injury and now looking for girlfriends.Again..... thanks alot guys had a great time........DC
Great pics! Great lookin dogs! Really like that Viagra male! Looks like a great trip!
